​The US govt bent on world hegemony, Russia stands in its way – Reagan economic ex-advisor

The US has already turned Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan into vassal states. House’s latest resolution against Russia is just a tool to reach the goal - world hegemony, Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary to the US Treasury, told RT.

RT:The US has
been building up its rhetoric against Russia in the past number
of months, so is this resolution really a surprise to
you?

Paul Craig Roberts: No, it was long expected.

Russia needs to understand that the United States has an ideology
of world hegemony and does not accept any prospect of any country
being sovereign or acting on its own. You have to be an American
vassal state. Just as the United States has turned all of Europe,
Canada, Australia and Japan into vassal states that is the only
terms on which the United States can accept Russia and China. It
will not accept them as sovereign, independent countries
following their own interests.

The demonization of Russia’s leader and the country will
continue. The situation will become more and more hostile. It’s
not going to go away, because the United States is guided by the
neo conservative ideology of American world hegemony and that
means hegemony over Russia and China.

RT:The resolution accuses Russia of
building and providing the missile, which shot down the MH17
airliner, but the official investigation is yet to determine what
actually caused the crash. So why did the lawmakers actually have
to include these accusations?

PCR: It’s propaganda, facts don’t play a role in
this.

I think if the Russian government is relying on facts, it’s going
to be greatly surprised because Washington has no interest
whatsoever in facts. Did Saddam Hussein have weapons of mass
destruction? Did Assad of Syria use Chemical weapons against his
own people? Did Iran have nuclear weapons? Of course not, and of
course Washington knew they were lying.

This house resolution is identical to what Adolf Hitler said when
he announced that “Last night Polish troops crossed the frontier
and attacked Germany” – there’s no difference. The United States
overthrows the government of Ukraine and then accuses Russia of
invading the country. This is not worth talking about. This is
blatant, obvious propaganda designed to make a demon out of
Russia, that’s the only purpose of this. It’s not going to go
away.

RT:You know there are strong statements and
the resolution lays the blame for the 4,000 deaths in East
Ukraine squarely on Russia – what do you make of that?

PCR: It’s just more propaganda, it’s no
different from the lies they told about Gaddafi and Saddam
Hussein and Assad and Iran. It’s the same lies they told when
Georgia provoked by Washington attacked South Ossetia and the
Russians came in and pushed them back out. That was also said to
be an invasion by Russia.

Facts don’t matter to propaganda. Washington is using propaganda.
The Russians need to wake up, they have an enemy. The enemy
intends to destroy you. That’s what the fact is. There’s no sense
in playing that this is somehow a mistake, or we can get the
facts out or people will come to their senses.

The United States has a policy of world hegemony and you’re
seeing that.
